As someone on the other side of the v., I recognize the need for PI plaintiff lawyers in cases of real injury and damage where you have an insurance company deliberately denying and delaying per industry-wide internal procedures. I get that.

The problem is there are too many menial and frivolous auto accident lawsuits field in Louisiana, and the lawyers who file them are rightly mocked. Not every unwitnessed parking lot fender-bender merits a civil lawsuit in a state district court. I've posted on here before that auto accidents in this state need to be cordoned off into some kind of separate tribunal system like workers comp, or be subject to some kind of threshold merit review like the med mal panel.

My daughter got in to an accident at the intersection of Airline Highway and Greenwell Springs Road. The only damage was a bit of paint transfer and a slightly bent running board on our vehicle. Our insurance got taken for $14K because of "soft tissue damage." This kind of thing is why people don't like personal injury attorneys.

The ghetto lottery of Baton Rouge. Certain people are coached to game the system and know who to call if they’re in a fender bender.

You have to take into consideration soft tissue damage from the accident.

I remember the first time a trial lawyer told me that. I laughed, then I told my Dad who was a physician and he could not stop laughing....and I'm an attorney (recovering).
